What drives this bottle's value

  • Considerable age

    A 30-year age statement reflects long maturation and the small surviving volume that implies — older stock is scarcer.

  • Non-standard format

    Bottled in a 750ml format rather than the standard 700ml, which sets it apart from the regular run.

These are scarcity and demand signals drawn from the bottle's own attributes — they describe the bottle, not a prediction of future price. Not investment advice.
